From Pastor Joh W Matutis- Germany
An Open Letter from God addressed to his earthly children
It wasn’t that long ago when the Twin-Towers in New York collapsed – since
then your notorious question is ringing in my ear „Where were you, dear God,
when that happened?" I heard reproachable words in such statement: „Almighty
yours, why haven’t you prevented this from happening where so many innocent
lives have been extinguished?!."
Believe Me, I was perturbed in my innermost, where my lovingkindness is
seated. However, did you really think I would deviate the course of the
approaching airplanes with my hand directing them around the twin towers?
Listen to me now carefully:
===================
For years now you have begged me to leave your schools, your governments, even
your lives, for not meddling in your lives by my presence. Since I can not
and am not coercing myself on anyone, I have withdrawn. How could you then
expect, that I took away the weapons from the perpetrators and intercepted
them at the doorstep of Erfut or Columbine high school?
When a single individual sues, that there is a cross hanging on the wall or
that there is prayer before class starts because he feels disturbed in his
personal development. Then, with abeyance of such demand, the cross is taken
down and no prayer meeting is being held – the majority is silent and you
even are proud of such tolerant behavior.
When today there is protest against my Word – you sure know it: Thou shall not
kill, etc. – it will limit our freedom and our autonomous will, then you say
it is ok – and entire generations grow into adolesence without having heard
my Word.
When women say, we abort our children because they say this is my stomach –
then you surely consent.
Finally, your own self realization is much more important and valuable than a
life of a human being. When artists decrying that their freedom of speech
rights cannot –under no circumstances- be curbed and they are allowed to show
anything and everything in the name of art, like violence, uninhibited sex
and perversions –all you do is to consent. And when there are scences of
rape, drug consumption, murder in all variations on TV every Friday, Saturday
and Sunday night, all you did is stamp it as a harmless thing. It is only
entertainment, you claim, and everyone is free to switch it off!
Touched and clueless have you asked yourselves: Why is it that our kids no
longer are able to discern between good and evil? Don’t they learn this anymore in school? Horrified you did realize, that your little ones don’t
even blink, when a classmate is being hit while laying on the floor, others
being scoffed at if they didn’t wear the latest fashion clothes: mobbing in
the classroom! Appalled you have recognized: Even my son or daughter could so
such things, because it dawned on you the realization: What men sows he shall
surely reap.
It is interesting to notice, how easily you disposed of my Person and how
quickly you are wondering how mercilessly evilish our (and Mine) world has
become. It is strange, how you simply and thoughtlessly you believe
everything the newspapers publish, in turn, however, question what the bible
has to say and discard it as a book of fairytales. Strangely it is, how
someone can say: I believe in God –however it would be best if He leaves me
alone and after 45 minutes of attending service it is finally over. It is
peculiar, how quickly you judge others, when, on the other hand you
yourselves are living a naive and critiqueless life. It is further peculiar,
how easily, brutality, vulgarity and the obscenity flows through cyberspace
when by the same token public discussions on religious education in classes
is growing more and more heated because it does not fit anymore into our
pluralistic society. It is evenly strange, how concerned you are what the
others think about you rather than what I think about you.
And, lo and behold, you still ask Me: Dear God, where were you?
I wanted to be with you- it is my name and my being. However, people make it
clear to me, that looking at my crucified son the very spiritual development
of our children is in jeopardy, even containing the freedom of the teacher –
and, simultaneously you let the little souls of your children being poisened
by them watching these TV programs! I wanted to be with you, but you want to
erase my name out of the constitution, because it detriments and belittles
other religions....and you forget what the two philosophies of the Ultra
rightists (Nazis) and the Communists have done to you without Me being there.
You want to make politics –without me-, wondering now that I condone it by
fulfilling that very desire? Shall I intervene when you are sawing on the
branch on whom you sit? And when you are calling for me while falling down,
shall I rescue you? Is your country living in such a carelessness like at the
times of the Romans, where the young and stormy usurping countries where
standing at their doorsteps and the Romans did not even want to realize it?
I am thinking about: Shall I still be a loving kind God, merciful rich with
grace and trust? (Exodus 5-6, 8-9) Do you only want to let me in to your
hearts through the „side entrance", or do I still find a few steadfast and
trustful people among you that are willing to officially welcome me?
Like I said: I am not pushing myself upon you, and when you look on the maps of the world where I once was and now am no longer: You can count on me –that
is my name - but you cannot manipulate Me and expect, that I will perform on
the push of a button.
Let me know, if I still can be your Emmanuel.
You know, where I can be reached.
